Which statements about the LVM components are correct? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Logical volumes are grouped in a master group.
• B. A volume group always consists of one physical volume.
• C. A volume group can be reduced in size by removing physical volumes.
• D. The operating system accesses the volume groups like conventional physical partitions.
• E. A volume group is part of a logical volume.
• F. A physical volume can be a partition or an entire hard disk.

Correct answer: D, F

Explanation

The correct answers are D and F. Option D is accurate because the operating system treats volume groups similarly to traditional physical partitions, simplifying access. Option F is correct as a physical volume can indeed be a partition or an entire hard disk. Options A, B, C, and E are incorrect because they misrepresent the relationships and functionalities within LVM components.
